Supercars At Wilton House - 2010

Make a date in your diaries for a fab day out in August



The fabulous Supercars at Wilton House event is returning in 2010, so keep Saturday August 14th free because this year's event looks like being bigger and even better than the last one.

PHer and event organiser jaykaybi managed to corral a fantastic collection of metal (and carbonfibre) for the inaugural event last year, but he's clearly not satisfied with the turnout and has tipped us off to look out for some "even rarer and more off-the-wall' machinery.

"It's no good being satisfied with a McLaren F1 GTR, Bugatti Veyron, one-of-a-kind Zonda, Enzo, F50, F40, 288GTO, Murcielago SV, Diablo GT, Mosler, Carrera GT, McMerc SLR 722, and I've got every intention of raising the bar," he says. "Cars expected? Well, let's just say that I'm already expecting to top 2009's event and Lord Pembroke's Veyron will naturally be back, but what would PHers like to see?"


The event has moved to a Saturday as the locals are more sympathetic, says Jay, but we still intend to run an (FOC) PistonHeads 'Saturday' Service on the day. Look our for our homepage post nearer the time if you want to come along to that.

It will cost £10 a head to see the supercars, but there will be more to see and do - including a 'Loudest Supercar' contest just after lunch. Can't wait!

Win a ride in a Bugatti Veyron - Charity Auction Prize
As in 2009, the Supercars at Wilton House is being organised in aid of the Stars Appeal Caring For Kids Campaign, raising funds for new facilities at Salisbury District Hospital.
As part of the appeal, local radio station Spire FM is running an online auction with lots that include a passenger ride in a Bugatti Veyron. Some of the other lots on offer look pretty good too, so click here to find out more

Hi all, it’s taken bloody ages to get this put together and it’s a massive weight off my shoulders now that the details have got a full release! Like last year, I’ll pop up from time to time and give a few clues about the cars that’ll be on show but I won’t be releasing a complete list at any point - I wouldn’t want to spoil all the surprises!

wink

The Dauer made me think you could try and whip up a Le Mans street car homologation special. For me personally that would be something very interesting to have a closer look at.

Not a bad idea! I'd love to see a 962 also.

And then there's the GT40 that started it all of course... and the Le Mans MX-5! wink

Any chance there could be a limit on the number of cars of the same make + model?

sounds fantastic. BTW I've been reading PH a lot and noticed that there was no mention of another great event for Ferrari fans:
http://www.ferrarifunday.co.uk/

there is no info on the 2010 yet, but last four were great and Ferrari owners even gave a ride to all who wanted (for the price of course)

Jay has worked really hard on this behind the scenes and as has already been said, 2009 was a great event.

Will's charity is well worth supporting (if you needed any extra incentive of course smile )

It will be a fantastic day and there will be some great metal (and Carbon Fibre) on show again

Sounds like this is going to be amazing. I couldn't make it last year, but hopefully I will be able to this year. Also I would love to see a Reventon there biggrin

Looks like a great day, and congrats to Jaykaybi for organising.


BUT*...why are these things ALWAYS in the South?!? With the exception of the very-occasional Sunday Service and once a year Supercar Sunday @ Gaydon (which is starting to be a bit "anything goes"**), is there anything like this at all north of Silverstone??? It does tend to exclude anyone north of B'ham (which is ~3hrs from this or Goodwood, and more from Virginia Waters).



* No offence intended to Jaykaybi.

** Last year the MX5, MR2 and Westfield owners clubs were given sections, a (badly-modded) Ford Cougar was let into the display, and worst of all they let a bunch of NSXs take centre stage for a bit...it's REALLY gone downhill! wink

Your question should be "why aren't these things in the North?" however I know that there are a few meets planned up there this year.
